What if the person who could further your career was already looking for you?
What if a room full of people knew exactly the insight you sought?
What if your knowledge could be someone else’s eureka moment?
Welcome to Magnet—the Triangle's premier networking experience, where meaningful connections happen fast. Here’s what attendees are saying:
- "The best, consistent, well run networking event in the Triangle. Hands down.”
- “In the course of about an hour, I had meaningful conversations with about 12 people. I received valuable advice and felt that I helped spark some ideas for others."
- "Brilliantly devised. 10/10."
- "Where has this been my whole life?"
- "Best networking event I've ever been to!"
How It Works:
- Check-In: Get a numbered nametag and sheet upon arrival.
- Write Your Ask: Handwrite a specific question or challenge (not a sales pitch) and post it on the wall.
Tip: The best asks invite advice or connections, not direct job leads. - Label Yourself: Write your name and sheet number on your nametag.
- Offer Help: Review the posted asks and leave sticky notes where you can help.
- Make Connections: Find those who can support you and those you can support.
Pro Tip: Don’t overthink your ask—it’s just a conversation starter! Approach the event with a mindset of helping others first for the most rewarding experience.
Come experience a networking event that’s fun, fast, and genuinely effective. Let your net…work!


In the end, your sheet will look something like:
